The Football League introduced the ‘emergency loan window’ to allow lower-league clubs to loan players outside of the summer and January transfer windows.

It is the only window of its kind and FIFA want to scrap it to bring England in line with everywhere else.

FIFA tried to ban it last year but granted the Football League a year’s grace.

From August, under the new proposal, all loans will run from one window to the next – including youth ones, which currently have to be updated on a monthly basis.

What have other managers said?

Phil Parkinson (Bradford City)

“You’ll have to make sure you don’t leave yourself short when the window shuts. That will definitely mean more numbers. Those utility players within your squad are going to be important.

“The summer is going to be busy. Teams are going to have to run with bigger squads. You would imagine it might drive the wages up a little bit.”

Sam Allardyce (Sunderland)

“It will put extra pressure on the managers not to take young players in case they don’t work out, which cuts down our development of young players, which has proven to be the best way to develop a player to play in the Premier League.”
